Internet freedoms restrained - SOPA/PIPA/OPEN/ACTA/CETA/PrECISE-related updates
IainB:
The **AA would seem to be Hell-bent on constraining our Freedoms for their financial gain.
This is an amusingly ironic news post on torrentfreak: Hollywood Studios Caught Pirating Movies on BitTorrent
That's arguably exactly the sort of useful investigative reporting that you don't get from the Establishment/MSM (mainstream media), and probably a good example of why the arthritic MSM model is already commercially failing as it desperately hides it's information for even fewer people to read, behind paywalls.
Renegade:
^^ Nice find Iain! It was an entertaining read! :)
IainB:
^^ - It continues with TorrentFreak exposing more pirates here: Exposed: BitTorrent Pirates at the DOJ, Parliaments, Record Labels and More
These organisations would seem to be making a complete mockery of themselves and the supposed "piracy" charges that have already been brought bu the **AA via the courts - including Dotcom's, I notice.
Evidently, it is OK for movie corporations and the justice and other government authorities to pirate material, but not the proles.
What a hoot!

Once upon a time, there were two people who made a torrent of George Orwell's Animal Farm. One was fined $150,000 for copyright infringement. The other worked for a publishing company and got a Christmas card from Orwell's estate as a thank you when Christmas sales of the book went up.
